This oven baked roasted red pepper dip is a warm and creamy dip that’s an indulgent tasting appetizer. With so much flavor, no one will ever guess that it’s dairy-free.

Prep tips for this red pepper dip

Since this is a warm dip, you’ll want to dig into it right out of the oven. If you are taking it to a gathering at someone else’s house, you can easily prep it in advance and stick it in the oven when you arrive. It only takes 20 minutes to warm up, so it’s the perfect on the go appetizer you can take anywhere.

Use a high-powered blender

Cashews form part of the creamy base for this recipe, so you’ll need a high-powered blender or food processor to get the dip nice and creamy. For blenders, we recommend either a vitamix, blendtec or Ninja blender. A food processor with the S-blade will work also, just dump the ingredients in and process until everything is smooth and creamy.

Paleo + Whole30 Dipping options

There are a lot of options for dipping with this warm and creamy roasted red pepper dip. I like pairing a creamy dip with some crunch, so for Whole30 compliance I opted for crunchy sliced veggies. Sliced celery was my favorite. Carrots and radishes worked well too. For Paleo options, there are clean chips/crackers you can use for dipping. Some of our favorites:

Jilz crackers (these taste great and seem to be the “sturdiest” Paleo crackers)

Instructions

Place all of the sauce ingredients into a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend/process until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Prepare artichoke hearts and spinach as noted. Place them in a 8×8 baking dish.

Pour the sauce into the baking dish and mix with a spoon to distribute the spinach and artichokes.

Place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes. Don't overcook, as the sauce will dry out a lot on the edges. Remove from the oven and give the dish a quick stir. Serve warm with your favorite dipping options.
